I have HTC One from Three UK, I got S-off, Super CID 11111111, currently on viper One, wondering if anyone tried changing there MID and CID and work out way to get taiwanees 2.24 update, now I dont want people saying do this do that, please I want to know who actually done this successfully. If Yes, Can you please share your experience.
I have a question...why? Why would you want to go through the trouble just to get an ota when were very shortly going to have stock rooted roms..I just can't get why people get so upsy to get the ota

I agree with you, Just wanted to get earliest updates, one more thing with that update HTC has already taking out all the reasons of custom rom for me!!
and one more thing it will flash the firmware, and there would be stability, i am becoming more of flashoholic with the phone all the time in recovery!!:laugh::laugh:
I have done it so I could get ota from dev edition, changing the cid is easy however changing the mid is not. You must flash engineering hboot and add some changes using android sdk command prompt. If your interested let me know, however you can easily update your firmware and Rom pretty easy and most developers are only a couple days behind an update, plus they are much improved from what HTC original Rom. I would wait the couple day and flash the Rom and if your concerned about firmware there are many threads on xda that are pretty much noob proof! Good luck

Thanks for the Info. Did you follow this guide.
Hey there everyone
(TLDR version on bottom)
I've got a somewhat problem on my hand,
I did search this forum, but didn't find the real answers to my question
I was on holiday in china last month, and i got the brilliant idea of buying my HTC One there instead of in my country, The netherlands
Now it seems my Blinkfeed on HTC wont be able to show English or Dutch news or Facebook updates, Nor do I have the Play Store.
so i went to a HTC servicecenter, they told me there is nothing much they can do about it.. and one of the employers told me to visit this website and "Flash a ROM" (since i have no warranty anyway)... now.. I'm a Complete and utter noob with phone software, so I tried to find some info about it all, but i am still somewhat confused what will happen if i "unlock boot", "root" or "flash a rom"
i found this video on your forum: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LENBpQW7mM4
and read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 this
and when i read this... and if i would do this... how do i know what kind of version of the HTC i should use, and will i have acces to the Blinkfeed with news from my country and Google Play store(that works)
i have a T-Mobile Simcard, but it's not a tmobile phone
so now my questions
1. Is it Safe to unlock bootloader, root and flash rom?
2. If i do it, Which Version should i take? (T-Mobile, M7, Sprint or ATT(although i think this is for america?)
3. Will it give me a properly working Blinkfeed with english / dutch news and facebook?
TLDR version:
Problems:
- Bought HTC One in china
- Blinkfeed news and Social media is only Chinese
- I have no Play Store
- I dont know what Unlocking bootloader, Root and ROM will fix
info:
The sellswoman from HTC china said it is an international phone, but i dont know for sure, since she also told me i could have english news on my blinkfeed etc.
questions:
so now my questions
1. Is it Safe to unlock bootloader, root and flash rom?
2. If i do it, Which Version should i take? (T-Mobile, M7, Sprint or ATT(although i think this is for america?)
3. Will it give me a properly working Blinkfeed with english / dutch news and facebook?
1. yes is safe to unlock bootloader via htc dev
2. still unclear about what to say, maybe you have dual sim version? what numer it is 802w ?
3. i have blinkfeed in english but is not usefull until you root phone
EDIT: >> If you don't did ota update >>> DON'T DO IT YET !!

OTA stands for Over The Air. Some ROMs require you to be at a certain "CID" (Carrier ID) and/or "MID" (Model ID). In order to change those IDs on your phone so you can install different ROMs that you might not normally be able to, you need what is called S-OFF. HBOOT 1.44 (which is what these devices shipped with) are able to be "S-OFF'ed" - if you install the OTA, the HBOOT will be upgraded to 1.54 and S-OFF is not able to be achieved on that version, effectively sticking you to whatever CID and MID you currently have.
If you'll be installing ROMs that are for your current model, you don't need to worry about S-OFF but I'd still shy away from the OTA just in case at some point later on you do want to delve into that world.
Seeing as how you aren't even sure what an OTA is I would take your time and read through the various guides on here extremely carefully. Some of these processes can leave you with a bricked phone if you don't know what you're doing. I'm not trying to be rude either, just offering a word of advise. You don't want to turn your expensive phone into an expensive paper weight.

very much appreciated for taking time for giving me this answer, and yeah i'm afraid i will end up with an expensive paper weight as well if i do this... so i will just leave it be for the moment, unfortunately I do not know anyone who is experienced with this
maybe i can ask for 1 more thing, is there anyway to get a working Google Play on my phone? if i download the APK and install it... when it starts up it closes down immediatly again (download manager is enabled)
First, sorry for this tread. I started to read across HTC ONE related treads, but then I give up on the end... just to many informations...
If i had time I'm sure that many if not all this questions are answered somewhere in HTC ONE forum.
I have only one day do decide if I'm going to buy HTC ONE, due to end of special promotion sale (with 24 months binding to my network provider), so I will really appreciate XDA and HTC community help, as I can't go trough all those 100+ treads in one day.
So here are my infos & questions:
I'm only interesting in HTC ONE for the reason that could be converted to Google Edition phone and that it's build quality and design is much better than Nexus 4. I own SE Xperia Ray and Nexus 7 both rooted and slightly modified, but mainly stock, and I love vanilla look and regular updates of Nexus from Gogole. I intend to run HTC ONE few weeks with STOCK and then go for GE.
I live in Slovenia/Europe, so HTC ONE will be bought here. It is SIM unlocked, not operator dependant, but may have some network operator/provider specific programs installed.
So I assume that this is International version of the phone (it's stated, that LTE is supported) and it comes with Android 4.1.2 version presumably not updated.
1.) If it is still on 4.1 Android will I be able to convert it to GE? What if is on 4.2.2 or 4.3? Is there already a correct stock GE rom for EUR version?
2.) Is S-OFF possible and needed also for EU version of ONE? (if yes, this is a must for changing CID, which is needed for a proper GE ROM installation? is my understanding correct?) On HTC site, One can be rooted officially, I assume this is also valid for EUR version. Even rooted phone needs S-OFF? meaning GE ROM cant be flashed? Sorry, S-OFF is something completely new for me (non-existing at Sony or Nexus 7)
3.) Will LTE work properly with GE (GE is for american phones this will be European/International) Are there any other restrictions, that I need to be aware if going for GE (radio versions...)?
4.) How is going back to stock HTC rom (in case of warranty claims)? Is it country specific and can be automatically done with HTC software (like Xperia and Sony PC Companion - Repair phone function) or is there generic ROM (like Google provides for Nexus 7, that can be flashed back. In this case should rom be country specific? Any simple way to dump and backup original stock rom that phone comes with?).
5.) OTA updates from Google. Some threads debating about working OTA, others have remarks that OTA won't work. So is it possible to convert to latest 4.3 GE with working OTA? (I love this feature on Nexus 7, but can be easily broken if some changes are done in root/system)
6.) ONE has 3 physical buttons (capacitive) below screen (not on screen like Nexus phones/tablets). Is GE version adapting those 3 buttons, or there are double buttons (on screen also visible). Is there a fix for that? I'm asking this as I have fully adopted to on "screen buttons" with Nexus 7
7.) Is it safe to assume that there will be also 4.4 KiteKat GE OTA/ROM for HTC ONE?
8.) Any other important stuff that i I'm not aware of it (some programs not working, DRM protection issues for some stock programs, etc)? So is GE convert a full convert or just partial and is better in this case to stick with Nexus phones?
Thank you all for answers in advance!

With the new Rumrunner exploit, the version of HBOOT makes no difference UNLESS IT IS 1.55
S-OFF is definitely needed. It can be achieved with any HBOOT but 1.55 as of today.
Yes LTE will work properly.
If you can find a carrier-specific RUU for your modelid and cid, then you are as good as a stock device.
Can't help you with that one
The One has two active capacitative buttons (by default). Custom kernels enable the use of the HTC logo as a third button. You can always enable on-screen buttons if you prefer them.
I'd say it is safe to assume. Launching a "Google Edition" device and not supporting it for the first "major" update since release would be a disaster...
I'm no expert about the Google Edition but from what I understand it is pretty close to a Nexus device. I'm a big Sense 5 (and 5.5) sellout however and don't really understand why you'd want to do that but it's your choice. The updates still have to come through HTC and do NOT come directly from Google.
Thanks a lot!

4.) Is there a way I can backup stock rom, that device comes with (I doubt that i will be able to find my carrier specific RUU)?
8.) I was thinking that HTC only update its own Sense ROM, and Google takes care about Google Edition ROM (so GE will be updated before Sense). But I might try Sense for a while and see if I can accept it.
In case of S-OFF, can new official HTC update or OTA, toggle it to S-ON again?
Most recommended tweaked Sense ROMS, that are smooth as GE?
Thank you.

4) A nandroid backup or RUU is pretty much essential once you start messing around with your phone. In my case, the RUU is not available but I do have a stock nandroid backup
8) Google updates Android and HTC brings it to the one skin-free. There is delay between Nexus releases and Google Edition releases, but it is WAY shorter than with most phones.
For the ROM, I really recommend Android Revolution HD by mike1986. It is smooth, adds cool customization options with the Sense 5 toolbox and simply adds to the HTC experience. F
You won't really need offical HTC updates or OTA if you decide to go with S-OFF. You could always S-ON back to stock but if you update the bootloader in a firmware update and it doesn't allow you to go back to S-OFF, you won't be able to live with yourself

Thank you. I decide to go with HTC One despite, special S-OFF issue, that makes things little more complicated in comparison with other manufacturers (Sony or ASUS Nexus). Xperia Z1f (Honami mini) was my first choice, but unfortunately if will be only available in Asia/Japan, so I will switch to HTC.
Looking forward to playing with the One
Thanks for your help again!

Finally i receive my HTC One (had to exchange the first unit because of the gap in housing).
My HTC One out of the box is:
Android 4.2.2,
Software ver. 2.24.401.8
Kernel: 3.4.10-g28df0d6
Baseband: 4A.17.3250.14:10.39.1150.04L
CID: [HTC__032]
S-ON
HBoot 1.54
I have on question tough:
can I update to 1.3.670597 (small 614 kb update fundamental for a bigger update) and from here to 3.62.401.1 update (678,48 MB, Android 4.3 and Sense 5.5) without S-OFF from the current version?
New update does make HBoot 1.55, but is seems that it is supported by Rumrunner (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496687)
Should I bother with S-OFF now and then take OTA update (will I lose S-OFF after update?) or can I update to 4.3 & Sense 5.5 and then made S-OFF i i decide to go with custom fw?
P.S.
At the moment I'm actually satisfied with stock (very quick and stable, no delays in UI) and will probably not go for custom rom for a while (maybe just with root, to remove some of the bloat-ware).
Thank you for replay in advance.

Sorry for the late reply,
I would S-OFF right now using revone as it is much simpler to use. Worst case scenario you relock bootloader and re-enable S-ON.
You will not lose S-OFF. Once you have it, it is yours to keep.

To the topic: My current hboot is 1.54, I was thinking that revone only works until hdboot 1.44.
What about options for removing TEMPERED, UNLOCKED messages from boot -loader (I’m little confused here, there are so many treads and options which may work, or may not, including flashing parts of firmware..etc..Seems dangerous to me)?
If my understanding is correct, I need to unlock boot-loader, root, and then S-OFF....but after that to be able to update trough OTA (to Android 4.3/Sense 5.5 stock), I must revert all the changes made (excluding S-OFF), if I wish that OTA will be successful (again I’m not sure if there actually is RUU.exe for my current version of software and using nandroid online or CWM /TWRP recovery for backup again involves a lot of work after for going back to stock).
At the moment seems too much work for me, that’s why I was asking if updating to 4.3/5.5 hdboot 1.55 makes more sense, and only if I decide to try some custom rom, going towards S-OFF direction...
But still, I'm not completely sure, if I understand correctly how to remove red messages in boot loader (unlocked, tempered...etc) and how hard or dangerous is it.
What I’m thinking at the moment is:
Go to 4.3/5.5 wia OTA, and use it for a while, than make unlock, root, s-off and install TWRP, and make backup. Then remove some not needed apps (Facebook, Tweeter, Stocks...). In case of need returning back to stock (warranty repair in case of hardware failure, new OTA for stock, etc), use TWRP to restore back and then somehow revert all the changes after (unlock, unroot, factory recovery…). So what are my available options with my current / updated version? Is this easier to achieve if I do all this on hboot 1.54 and 4.22 android or can be also done under hdboot 1.55 and 4.3?
P.S.
But you were correct with your comments about Sense, it's not bad at all. I starting to like Sense UI, so maybe going towards Google Edition will not be needed at all.

It's up to you really. HBOOT 1.55 is now compatible with Rumrunner so upgrade away. Once you have S-OFF, you also get SuperCID, which gives access to all ROMs and firmwares (included stock ones, that are usually available here before the carriers even start testing). The Tampered flag is in fastboot, it is not linked to the red writing. To remove the red writing you must flash a custom firmware.
The easiness of going back to stock after having unlocked the bootloader and etc depends on the availability of RUUs and/or S-OFF.

Looking this:
http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/ -> RUU M7 UL JB 50 HTC Europe 1.20.401.1 Radio 4A.13.3227.06 10.27.1127.01 Release 308001 Signed 2 4
It seems that my RUU.exe path is open? This seems to be 4.1.2 version of RUU with older radio, but it should give me OTA option to 2.24.401.8 (Android 4.2.2/Sense 5.0) and then OTA again to 3.62.401.1 (Android 4.3/Sense 5.5).
Can you please confirm this? Do I have a valid "easy" RUU.exe backup/downgrade path?
Thanks?
P.S.
There are some notes about touch not working properly going downgrade path to old firmware...will I be able to accept OTA anyway?

Once you are S-OFF, you can downgrade using an RUU (since you should have SuperCID as well); meaning you can't be "stuck" S-OFF. S-OFF allows you to "factory lock" the bootloader (instead of "relock"), remove the "tampered" sign and flash the latest firmwares.
The RUU you found, while valid, would only work if you were S-OFF as it's older than the software on you HTC One right now. HTC1Guru has stock ROMs that include recovery for pretty much any firmware if for some reason you don't like RUUs or don't wanna go S-OFF but still want to flash ROMs.
Touch works starting at 2.24 and it simply doesn't work in Recovery, meaning you have to use the volume keys.
Hi guys
Please excuse my question, I HAVE searched and HAVE read a plethora of threads before I posted this... If this a duplicate I APOLOGISE profusely!
I bought a HTC One last night and have spent some time playing with it. Sadly I am still on 4.2 with Sense 5.0. I contacted my local carrier (Vodacom South Africa) to ask when the 4.3 update will be coming and the response I got was "we have no news yet".
I don't find that response acceptable so I'd like to get myself to 4.3. I do not mind losing OTA capabilities and was wondering if I would be able to flash my phone to a stock international version of 4.3 with Sense 5.5?
I've seen OTA downloads available as well but I do not believe my CID would match, so I guess this wouldn't work while I am still on my carriers official firmware.
I have no issue unlocking the boot loader and rooting, I just wanted to ask if this is possible / advisable?
Many thanks guys!

Yes it should be possible, you need to
unlock bootloader
root
s-off
change cid to international (i.e HTC__001)
change mid to international (i.e PN0711000)
run the ruu of international version
uptade to 4.3 via ota
re-unlock bootloader if needed
re-root if needed
what are your current CID and MID?
Code:
fastboot getvar all

In short: yes it is totally possible, I'll add it to my guide whenever i get a chance, but in the meantime you can check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532705
and adjust to your needs!
Hi guys.
Many thanks for the replies
It seems I may have gotten myself into some trouble though... I've been following the steps to install the Android Revolution HD ROM and I seem to be in a situation where I have unlocked the bootloader, I have a recovery installed (TWRP) but I have no operating system on the device... and no ROM copied to the internal SD CARD on the phone.
I cant access the file system through Windows and I appear to be stuck
Busy Googling to try and find a solution, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

one of these methods:
1) OTG cable
2) adb push
3) adb sideload
Does your internal SDCard show 0MB for size inside TWRP?
If it shows size then go to TWRP > Advanced > ADB sideload, plug the phone in the computer, download a ROM, and then type adb sideload romname.zip
These are not exact steps but you get the idea..
Thanks a lot for the responses, you guys are great!!!
I have flashed the Android Revolution ROM and am very happy so far
Hello everyone,
1.) I just ordered HTC One from O2 (in Germany), there is no O2 thread, so which version of HTC One am I going to get ?
2.) If you don't know, how can I check it ?
3.) Once I know that, how can I convert my HTC One to Google play in order to get official updates from Google without having to wait for O2 (I won't be using phone in Germany anyway) ?
I am fine with rooting my phone, I don't want custom roms though. (If there is no way for googlep lay edition updates, I probably would be open to revolution or CM).
If you readers have some time and information about it, I would really appreciate you sharing it.

1) most likely, an international edition: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223236
2) do a "fastboot getvar all" that will tell you all the info you need about the phone
3) plenty of guides around, find one that looks comfortable to you; you'll need to go S-Off for a full conversion
(If you're going to have to change MID, instead of using the ENG HBOOT tutorial, use this tool instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535365 much easier, quicker, and not dangerous)
also once you S-Off, I HIGHLY recommend DO NOT GO S-ON.
